any vote we take is going to kill us. all we want to do is put our head down and get through the last two months. there's some of that intense, defensive crouch, risk aversion that's also driving. >> let me ask you about whether or not the democrats are really going to press ahead. frank rich obviously very influential wrote how fdr in 1936 was able to turn populist anger against the economy into political advantage even though they were the party in power by saying that republicans were the party of the financial bad guys, the people who were getting rich while everyone else suffered and he welcomed their hatred. is there any hope, any legs to this as a potential strategy for the democrats left? >> well, there are legs although i would say that gdp growth in 1936 was actually quite positive. the country was actually growing. it had this horrible trough and part of the reason roosevelt was so popular at that point, gdp growth was actually quite remarkable in that year. it then went back down. there was a double dip. so, l

that's what it looks like to use the culture war issue against republicans, to use their own extremism nationally against them locally. the other bit of conventional wisdom democrats appear to be following en masse this year is that democrats can't run on their own record. democrats can't run on what they've accomplished in washington over the last two years. it can't be done. republicans said these elections should be a referendum on president obama. and the people are angry at president obama and at the democrats so therefore since republicans said we should do it that way i guess it will be that way. by and large, democrats appear to have bought into that republican serving spin about these elections instead of fighting it and putting their own framing on things. that's why you see democrats across the country doing anything they can to avoid acknowledging that their district is part of the country. that they are part of a party. they're part of a party that the president is actually the leader of. and he's been doing stuff. democrats, they say you can't run on your record. they say
